Instructions
Place the shrimp in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 ½ cups lime juice. The shrimp should float freely in the juice. If not, add more juice.
Cover and refrigerate until the shrimp are “cooked” –anywhere from 20 minutes to one hour. You will see the shrimp have cooked in the lime juice and are now pink! Any longer and it will toughen. Drain.
Stir in the jicama, fresh coconut and red onion and 1/3 cup fresh lime juice. Set aside.
In a blender, combine the coconut milk, cilantro. serranos and sugar. Blend until smooth. Add to the shrimp bowl and stir to combine. Taste and add salt as needed.
